  (Continued from the previous blog) Moronobu [Teisounoato] The whole view of the largest circles can be easily compared with other paintings. Seurat's "Grand Judd" will be taken up first. There is a comment from Signac, the first sympathizer of Seurat's pointillism. Paul Signac commented on Seurat’s intentions in Grande Jatte : Seurat’s interest in the subject was so slight that he told his friends: ‘I could equally have painted, in a different harmony, the combat between the Horatii and Curiatii.’ He had chosen a naturalist subject in order to tease the Impressionists, all of whose pictures he proposed to redo, in his own manner.”   This model is not accurate because it was made without drawing a circle. Extending the white arcs large circle model can be made. To see the structure of the circles clearly, I made large circle model. .   Making an overall view of the circular structure, we can see that several circles form a side-by-side unit. By comparing the ...

  Hishikawa Moronobu  [Mikareribijin] Hishikawa Moronobu  [Mikaeribijin] circle cross model Probably because it appears in a junior high school textbook, it is the most famous painting in Japan. I would like to introduce the blog I wrote before. visual grammar (visible grammar): April 2019 (yukihiko-ikumori.blogspot.com) Only those who search for images of Moronobu's paintings come up with the question of which is the second best painting. . On the first page of Google's image search, the most common one is "Teishounoato “ There are many black and white works with different colors.

                                             The actors Iwai Sagenta and Katsuyama Matagorō 1705  I happened to find this when I searched for an image with "torii kiyonobu", t hough I could not find this image in search with Japanese name. Kiyonobu's work does not seem to be well understood. 　         . It is included with other painters in Moronobu's art books which I have. If you consider digital images as works, we can see quite a lot of works. The harmony in this work is due to the well chosen scale. I make the arc model.                                             The actors Iwai Sagenta and Katsuyama Matagorō  arc model Music is made up of musical tones, rather than being made using sounds selected from all the so...

  Thinktng back in time, 1) "Ryakuga hayaosie" is considered to be a technique for amateurs to easily draw pictures. 2) The author who made it ,of course, must have used the same technique for his paintings.  Among the paintings drawn soon after the Sharaku era, the geometric structure can be clearly seen in "Oshikurihatoutusennozu". 3) Sharaku’s "Daishichi Shiga of the Third Generation Ichikawa Koraizo" can be drawn with arcs. 4) This technique has already been used in Shunro's "Kimenzan ,Dewanoumi ".   One way to prove that Sharaku is Hokusai, is to show that Shunro in the latter period drew like Sharaku. When I wrote the previous blog 【 visual grammar (visible grammar): Identification of Sharaku and Hokusai on deep structural level (yukihiko-ikumori.blogspot.com) 】 Only "Kimenzan － Dewanoumi " was the picture that shows Sharaku’s  style. We can draw the picture using a limited number of circle of different sizes...

  "I f you compare the woman who tried to use  sake barrel as a stepping stone and caught on a branch of cherry blossoms by Toyokuni, and the woman who holds an  umbrella and is blown in the wind by Harunobu, everything will be clear. In the latter, even the willow branches play music along the lines of the face and kimono. Perhaps the former cherry blossom branch, which she intended to do the same, seems to be only a jerky noise. The rugged lines on the tabi socks are also broken." Torahiko Terada "ukiyo-e no kyokusen"                  Harunobu [Young Woman Carrying an Umbrella in a Gust of Wind] Here is a picture that Torahiko Terada might have seen. The fact that the umbrella is an important element in Harunobu's painting was shown in another blog about  "Autumn leaves dance", but in this painting the willow branch is also an important motif. The lines in Harunobu's paintings are made up of arcs of    ...

     Koryusai on the left  Harunobu on the right I found a work that imitate Harunobu's "Gojorei" by Koryusai, who is said to be a follower of Harunobu.   It is well known  that it is based on Harunobu's work [Gojounorei] . It can be imagined that the kimono figure on the left was brought from somewhere and synthesized without changing the kimono figure on the right. Musically speaking, the right and left kimonos are not made with the same scale. It will be clear if I make arc model. As all the parts are not made at the same time, Koryusai could not adjust the harmony  and balance. Early ukiyo-e painters shared patterns and  drew similar pictures. Harunobu's artistry lies in how well it is structured. All the curved lines are arcs  and the circles of the arcs are limited. the largest and the second largest circles make basic structure.                   Harunobu [Gojourei]  ...
